The Fair Holiday.

ED. APPEAL:-Your suggestion
to have the people of Carson close
up their business one day during
the Fair and attend in a body seems
good one. Of course 1 have heard
a good many object, but I look at
it that nearly everybody will go at
least one day during the Fair and
why not make it one big affair and
everybody 60 the same day, by
special train and strike the grounds
with band of music all in body
and show the balance of the State
that Carson people do not do things
by halves. No doubt if this were
done the Fair managers would APP
point special programme for the
day and give some extra prizes.
One for the prettiest girl. One
for the handsomest man. One for
the heaviest man and one for the
man who took down the biggest
family. This would result in a
competition and a big crowd. Then,
as YOU suggest Reno would be in
duty, bound to come up here in a
body wheu we have our District
Fair. / aim certain that the plan
would prove a good investment for
both towns. Yours,
A FRIEND OF RENO.

Graded Percherons.

Several papers in this State have
asserted that the Percheroa horse
is a valuable acquisition to Nevada
because "the grades excel the
thoroughbreds in many respects. !"
We would like to have some of our
"horse" contemporaries tell one
single respect in which Percheron
grade excels thoroughbred. The
fact of the matter is, that a Perch
eron thoroughbred is one of the
best of animals, and one cannot
over-estimate its superior points.
When crossed with a cold-blooded
mare, however, the progeny is very
apt to be disproportioned. The
colt will have a very big body
and small head, or all head and no
body. This has been almost uni
formly the experience of breeders
who have tried the cross. An
American mare must be an extra
good one to cross we'll with a thor
oughbred Percheron.

Nevada Land the Rest.

The Enterprise tells of a man
who, at Lovelock, planted 100
acres of potatoes, and the return
was eight tons to the acre. He got
one cent pound for the spuds, OF
SIG, 900 for the lot. After deduct
ing say so per cent, which is a big
estimate, for expenses, he clears
$4,000 year. Now, can you clear
$4,000 off 100 acres of California
land, unless particularly choice? If
any money is made there it is at
infinite labor and care. The Cali
fornians are continually fighting
pests of all descriptions, while in
Nevada such things are never heard
of. Now, a San Francisco man has
invented a drying process by which
all the water in potatoes is evap-
grated, and they lose three-fourths
OF their weight. When placed in
water they resume their original
flavor and shape.
There is big field for such an
industry here. 1t would save a vast
lot OF freight and after the Nevada
potatoes were dried they could be
shipped to all parts of the world.
Specimens of the dried potatoes can
be seen at this Office or at Friends.
They will also be on exhibition at
the State Fair. The Nevada pota-
toes are approached by no other
spuds that grow. No other State
ever claims such excellent potatoes
~ ours.

OUR CLIMATE.
What a California Paper has
to Say About it.

to Say About il.
The California Export Journa
gives our Nevada climate and sol
the annexed good lift: 1t is only
recently, that the population of the
Eastern States have come to the
conclusion that the climate on the
Pacific Coast is more favorable to
health and physical comfort than
their own, and they are right. The
| climate of California and of Ne
vada is preferable to the Southern
States or even Italy.
To see the fruits and vegetables
unload daily on Davis and WASH
ington Streets will convince the
most skeptical that it is an unusual
climate that will produce such I'M
surpassed fruits and vegetables.
To notice the animals shipped from
the State of Nevada will testify to
a condition of growth and vigor I'M
surpassed, we may say, in any
part of the world.
Everybody knows about land in
California; but little is known about
the lands in Nevada.
Nevada possesses advantages in
some respects which are superior to
California lands. Nevada has
many lakes, and many mountain
streams which are evidently adapt
ed for irrigating the sagebrush land
lying underneath, and it only re-
quires a small outlay of coin, and
some organized system of irrigation
to make her sagebrush deserts TEEN
with life and population.
We are informed that the cele-
brated actress Madam Langtry
bought some land near Carson, and
no wonder. The air is refreshing,
the climate tends to vigor, and
great endurance.
In no place are there so many
,entenarians as among the native
Indians of that State, or the old
Spanish settlers of California.
The advantages of the climate in
hose two States are dryness of the
the GOODNESS of the
light and the mildness of the tenn
,erature.
Moisture combined with the heat
.auses fever. Over half the child
en-, who die East during the months
# June, July and August, called
he heated term, might be saved by
ending them to San Francisco, !
California or Carson City, Nevada,
where the air is bracing and invig-
rating at time when our Eastern
riends are Frustrated with heat.
California is commencing to be
appreciated; we predict a near
uture when Nevada will be proper
y appreciated too, and when her
alleys will be traversed by a pop
llation looking for permanent
ZONES.

The Reno Tar Bucket.

The Journal of yesterday has the
following:
Tuesday night the Coroner was
notified that the body of new born
babe was found floating in the
Electric Light Company's ditch be-
low town. The remains were taken
in custody by the Coroner and
brought to the undertaking estab-
ishment at w. Sanders. The babe
is fully developed and whether still
born Is question to be letermin-
ed at the inquest which was held
yesterday. The body had been
dipped in coal tar either to preserve
it or to make discernment difficult.
So far as could be seen no marks,of
violence were distinguishable but
when the coat of tar is removed it
may be that will throw some light
upon the cause of its death. There
is something radically wrong some
where or the body would not have
been consigned to the river. 1t is
In fine state of preservation, show
ing that it had not been dead any
length of time. The officers are all
at work trying to solve the mystery
and developments can be looked
for to-day.
